Kendrick Lamar’s dominance on the global charts has reached another historic milestone. The Compton rapper has officially crossed 50 billion streams on Spotify across all credits, making him only the fifth rapper ever to achieve the feat.
With this, Kendrick joins the elite league of Drake, Travis Scott, Eminem, and Kanye West, cementing his place among the most streamed rappers in history.
Here’s how the Spotify streaming leaderboard for rappers currently stands:
-
Drake — 119B
-
Travis Scott — 59B
-
Eminem — 58B
-
Kanye West — 58B
-
Kendrick Lamar — 50B
This milestone comes at the peak of what many consider one of the greatest two-year stretches ever for a rapper. Following his headline-making feud with Drake, Kendrick delivered the Grammy-winning anthem “Not Like Us” and the critically acclaimed GNX project. He also performed at the Super Bowl and headlined one of the most successful tours in hip-hop history.
The achievement further solidifies Lamar’s reputation as one of rap’s most impactful and enduring figures.
